Quick and Easy Egg stew

Nigerian dishes are made in a variety of ways. Meaning a dish can be enjoyed in a lot of delicious ways.

Eggs are a great option to create a variety of ways to enjoy otherwise it gets boring.

Today I will be sharing how I make my delicious, quick and Easy Egg stew recipe which we will be pairing with chunky fried plantains.

This recipe is heavenly with hot boiled yams too. A meal of this is best served on a Saturday morning, afternoon or a weeknight meal because after eating this you are guaranteed a good dose of sleep. Be Warned 😉

Nigerian Egg Stew

Directions:

Pour cooking oil in a clean sauce pan and light up stove.

Add the onions and sauté for about a minute then pour in the tomato paste.

Cook sauce for about 8 mins while stirring to prevent burning.

Add the cup of water to the beaten eggs then gradually stir the egg/water mix into the bubbling stew. Stir continuously to break up the eggs.

Add in the chopped red and green bell peppers.

Cook for another 2 minutes on low heat and it’s ready to get in your belly.😀 After cooling down to warm though.
